Rated at 150 psi, it meets ANSI B 16.3 dimension standards and carries a working temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F. The 3.31-inch hex allows a standard pipe wrench or hex wrench to seat the fitting securely. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water, air, gas, and steam applications where iron fittings are specified. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer hex bushing is suited for residential and commercial piping systems where a large-bore header or main line must step down to a smaller branch line without adding excessive length to the assembly. Typical applications include water distribution headers, compressed air mains, gas distribution piping, and steam systems operating within the rated temperature and pressure limits. The threaded connection style makes it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe, valves, and fittings across 150-pound galvanized malleable iron systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces 4 in MPT to 2 in FPT in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGalvanized malleable iron construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e150 psi pressure rating for demanding pipe system applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards for iron pipe fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWide service temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.31-inch hex design for reliable wrench engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for 150-pound galvanized malleable iron piping systems using NPT-threaded connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes, including the IPC and IFGC where gas service is involved. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use the hex flats with a properly sized wrench to avoid cracking the casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches MPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: -20 to 350 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Malleable Iron, Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimension Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI B 16.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.82 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.72 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 64541\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950082294066,"sku":"64541","price":68.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/575cccadcff9b53828dc52663c4f3401.jpg?v=1791706499","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-64541-reducer-hex-bushing-4x2-in-iron","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
